Loblolly Pine
In tests with Pinus taeda L., most properties of wet. formed hardboard were improved by using fiber refined from wood having short, slender tracheids with thin walls. A theoretical analysIs suggested that the fibers fail in bending while under stress induced by the pressing operation. Such bending failures improve conditions for hydrogen bonding, thus improving board properties. Trachelds havmg...
متن کاملSequencing and Assembly of the 22-Gb Loblolly Pine Genome
Conifers are the predominant gymnosperm. The size and complexity of their genomes has presented formidable technical challenges for whole-genome shotgun sequencing and assembly. We employed novel strategies that allowed us to determine the loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) reference genome sequence, the largest genome assembled to date. Most of the sequence data were derived from whole-genome shotgun...
متن کاملLoblolly Pine - Pushing the Limits of Growth
The age of intensive plantation forestry in the Southeastern US rapidly approaches. Based on data through age 9 from loblolly pine plantations subjected to complete weed control and multiple fertilizations, growth rates to be expected equal or exceed those for southern pines grown in other countries under intensive cultural practices. Predictions of continuing growth through age 15 and economic...
متن کاملProcessing the Loblolly Pine PtGen2 cDNA Microarray
PtGen2 is a 26,496 feature cDNA microarray containing amplified loblolly pine ESTs. The array is produced in our laboratory for use by researchers studying gene expression in pine and other conifer species. PtGen2 was developed as a result of our gene discovery efforts in loblolly pine, and is comprised of sequences identified primarily from root tissues, but also from needle and stem. PtGen2 h...
متن کاملLoblolly Pine Ssr Markers for Shortleaf Pine Genetics
—Simple sequence repeats (SSR) are highly informative DNA-based markers widely used in population genetic and linkage mapping studies. We have been developing PCR primer pairs for amplifying SSR markers for loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) using loblolly pine DNA and EST sequence data as starting materials. Fifty primer pairs known to reliably amplify polymorphic markers in loblolly pine were scr...
